Nice enough little pub but with their position they could do so much better.
Good cold beer and cider and a nice little spot to sit on the footpath and watch the world go by.

Food looked ok but can't comment as we didn't eat there.

Probably wouldn't drop in there again.

Really delicious, fresh chinese food!
Took the kids there, easy to park, nice setup inside, friendly staff and good food.

We had a chicken and beef dish and the meat was cooked perfectly and very tender.

Not a big restaurant so you might want to book....we were there early and they got quite busy.
They do a takeaway service as well :)

Reasonably priced and good sized meals.
Fab fried icecream!

Approximate cost: $20 - $25

Excellent pub located in a fab spot in Fitzroy.
Great atmosphere with options of sitting out the front, inside or in the beer garden out the back.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. We had quite an array, fish of the day, chk snitz, curry, salad, burger etc etc and it was all of an excellent quality.
Very reasonable prices for what you get too.

Easy parking in the streets around.
A great venue for a dinner out with friends or the family (we had 2 young children dining with us)

Approximate cost: $25

I was actually a little disapointed with this restaurant.

The place is nice and bright, airy, clean and well decorated (in a carefree, happy mixican way) however the food left a little to be desired.
The menu states that if it is your first visit to ask and have the menu explained....we did this however the waitress just read through what was on the menu, didn't actually explain it.

Staff were pleasant and friendly and food came quickly however nothing about it was great or fantastic. It was just o.k.

Easy to park, clean toilets and lots of room for kids, pushers, wheelchairs but with the abundance of good places to eat around it's not a place that we would visit again in a hurry.

Approximate cost: $20-$25

This review is for Surf Esteem, Aldinga Beach SA

Great Surf Shop!
Conveniently located in the Aldinga Central Shopping Centre. Easy parking and just inside main doors.

Great knowlegeable staff who are super friendly.
Stocks everything that you would expect in a surf shop with an extensive range of bathers.

There are often sales and specials on and these are easy to spot and get to out the front.

This review is for Lakeside Cafe, Oakden SA

Nice enough little Cafe in Oakden.
Ok for parking when it's quiet. A little carpark to the side but it can be busy when the other shops are open. Street Parking is fine and free, you may just have to walk a little bit.

The menu is extensive!! We just had toasted s/w and wedges which were fine.
My chai latte was excellent and I'm told that the other coffees and milkshakes consumed at our table were of a good quality too.
Service was a little poor though.
It wasn't that busy - average weather on a public holiday and it certainly wasn't crowded.
Service was a little slow and when the orders came out muddled there wasn't much communication or apologies.

No toilet on-site either
Won't be rushing back in a hurry.

They sell duck food for $2 bag which was a nice thing for the kids to be able to do.
There is a large park and duckpond next door (no playground though for the littlie's)

Approximate cost: $15-$25

This review is for Mile End Chiropractic, Mile End SA

An excellent family chiropractor!
John is very thorough and knowledgeable in his care. My family have seen him for years and I now take myself and my children to him.
He takes his time to ascertain what the problems and areas of concern are and is not quick just to 'crack your back'. Infact there are times when he hasn't attempted this due to other issues and has used pressure points and massage to manipulate the injured area.
A convenient car park at the side, a pleasant and welcoming waiting are and a natropath on site should you be interested in that service.
A very good service!

This review is for Sonehouse Gallery, Warrandyte VIC

A great little gallery in Warrandyte.
There is a beautiful range of items from local artists. Items include homewares, jewelery, scarves, bags, sculptures, kids toys, ornamets, cards etc etc
Prices are very reasonable for the individual, well crafted pieces.
Staff are friendly and welcoming. They encouraged my two children to have a good look at the (non-breakable) things and spent time discussing the more fragile pieces with them. Makes a difference from some other places that almost shudder when children walk in.
Easy parking out the front and enough space inside for children and a pusher if need be.
Well worth a trip to Warrandyte when looking for a unique piece either for yourself or as a gift.

This review is for Asia In The Mallee, Coonalpyn SA

A beautiful little shop seemingly in the 'middle of nowhere'!
We recently found it on a 'cup of tea' stop between Melb and Adelaide.
They stock a range of Aisan products, both homewares and clothing collected from their travels o/s. A cute little shop and really lovely staff with great service.
Only open Thursday to Sunday (10am - 4pm)so it's a bit hit and miss with actually seeing the store but it's worth it if you can. Breaks up the trip beautifully.

This review is for Beerenberg Strawberry Farm, Hahndorf SA

verified email - 14 Jan 2013

Visiting Hahndorf and the strawberry farm really should be on the list of all South Australian locals and also visitors to the state!
It is a really enjoyable day out and the produce is oh so good :)
We spent an hour and a half wandering the strawberry fields picking (and eating)strawberries. They are delicious and very well priced for the experience.
There are also lots of Beerenberg produce items that you can buy from the shop.
Good Parking and wide paths make it easy to get in and get around.
A great family day out!! (We coupled it with a picnic and play at a playground in Hahndorf)
